• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Please don't mess up our OKC system. If you want to listen, get a scanner. Most days FD runs in the clear anyway. They have it encrypted for a reason. Please obey our state law. Unless you have a radio issued to you, keep off their system. Let me know when you get yours programmed, I'll be sure to get a photo of you in the 'cage'. I'd talk to Mike McElroy, he's been OKC's radio tech since the '70's and you can get your answer from him.

btw, we got our PO signed today for our new Moto system here. it will run mostly analog, but we will have digital options. http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2132
Check out our webcam: http://www.gprmc-ok.com

and OHP is very active using the repeater at I-40 and Merrit on 154.935. Lots of traffic still on the DPS 800 car to car.

The only reason he is wanting the radio is to listen to OCPD and OKC Fire. I don't know if the vendor will program its but very doubtful that they will. Plus he is joe citizen so less chances that will not saying they won't but would be really shocked if they did it for him.
Have you bothered to read the website for the vendor he is talking about, or all the other posts saying that they deliver exactly what they say?

Perhaps you, yourself, need to take a look at the system again. Most of the groups are ProVoice digital in the clear and are very much able to be heard using an LPE or Jaguar radio. These are about the only ways to listen to the system aside from the digital voice conversion method. Also, you need to re-read about ESK. It is either turned on for all of the system or none (it is a per-CSD function) - not for just half of a system. At any rate, Oklahoma City's system is not implementing ESK at all at this time.



Actually, it is. One check box for turning off auto login and another check box at each talk group entry to turn off transmit.



If the radio had auto login disabled and transmit disabled on all talk groups, about the only thing that could be done with that situation is a civil suit from M/A-COM against the programmer of the radio for software license violations. Without the whole story, it's hard to say that this situation fits what is being spoken about here.



And I bet that helps you out a lot with the law enforcement mission.



I can't describe how much I disagree with this, but I will leave that to be your opinion.


wow.....OWNED! lol, good job Greenthumb

And DOH - if you're going to continue to reply with these 'stories', can you PLEASE for the love of the good lord himself, use some spaces inbetween your ungodly long run on sentences?

Awesome, Thanks!

IF U STILL CANT GRASP THE CONCEPT THAN PLEASE HAVE SOME ONE HOLD UR HEAD UNDER WATER TILL U QUIT STRUGGLING. YOUR OBVIOLSY NOT INTELLIGANT ENOUGH TO OPERATE A RADIO MUCH LESS A SCANNER. FUTHER MORE LETS END THIS PISSING CONTEST OH WAIT I MEAN THREAD, FROM ALL THE REPLIES YOUR ANSWER TO THE ORIGIONAL QUESTION IS...YES...PRICE RADIOS IS A VERY RESPECTED AND TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY, ANY MACOM PURHCASES OR DEALINGS U WANT TO DO, USE PRICE RADIOS(i think thats at least one piece of info we can all agree on).
